Dear developer,

I attached some fixes for manpage from Debian.

Thanks!

#4 Fix build with ld's --as-needed flag

2016-06-15T16:10:38.850000Z

OK for the record, the --as-needed flag had no effect. I wasn't linking any unused libraries. I'll leave the flag in the Makefile anyway, for future-proofing.

#4 Fix build with ld's --as-needed flag

Heh; I was unaware that sortmail was even being packaged with Debian. I will look into it.

Fix build with ld's --as-needed flag

Please consider applying the patch in this Debian bug to fix building with ld's --as-needed flag.

pipe into command can't take arguments

2006-07-15T15:37:32Z

sortmail's rc file used to allow you to feed the mail
to a command with specified arguments. The current
sortmail requires there to be no arguments provided to the
given command, which cripples the usefulnesss of the
pipe command.

E.g. my .sortmailrc file used to have lines like this:

/^Subject: Testing 2/s:| /usr/local/script/addmail
/home/luke/Mailboxes/tmp luke 'More test mail'
/usr/local/lib/sounds/NewMail.au

Now, that just provokes the error:

sortmail 2006-7-16 1:20:42: syntax error line 7,
"/home/luke/Mailboxes/tmp luke More-test-mail
/usr/local/lib/sounds/NewMail.au" unrecognized

cvs version fails to build on FreeBSD

2002-09-05T05:59:48Z

On OSX it builds, but the linker warns about the same
thing.

On FreeBSD:
cc -O -pipe -c utils.c
utils.c:521: conflicting types for `hstrerror'
/usr/include/netdb.h:232: previous declaration of
`hstrerror'

I will tend to it and submit a diff soon.
